It's absolutely astonishing: In just about 13 years, Norway has skyrocketed from virtually no sales of zero-emission battery electric vehicles to nearly 100% of all new passenger car purchases.

I keep hearing people say that we could scale green hydrogen so that it could replace fossil gas used for heating buildings. My take: this is highly unrealistic. Let's look at the numbers in more detail in this 🧵

Thanks for sharing our article @janrosenow.bsky.social! Sadly, two years after its publication, most green hydrogen projects have been delayed or abandoned. @falkoueckerdt.bsky.social and I will soon publish a follow-up article to explore recent setbacks and future challenges of green hydrogen.
